Nice to see the assumptions listed out. My worries about the future turning out well by default are part of why I’d like to see more work done in clarifying and sharing our values, and more work on questioning this assumption (eg looking into Pinker’s work, thinking about why the trends might not hold). I’m aware of SI and some negative-utilitarian approaches to this, but I’d love to see links on whatever else is out there.
